The test I analyze is taken from a mid-term test.

It consists of three reading

passages followed by few questions and multiple choices in the last part.

Writing prompt with a scoring rubric

Defining a vocabulary item

Reciting a grammatical rule

Identifying a rhetorical feature in written discourse

Consists of several short reading passages each followed by a limited number of

comprehension questions

Including criterion-referenced test, because the test is connected to the curriculum

and it intends to give students feedback in the form of grades.

Summative test,, in the middle of semester,, to measure the students’ ability—how

far they understand the material during the half of the semester

1. Are the test procedures practical?

 There is no administrative detail about the test. The teacher assumed that
the students understood what they were going to do with the test since the
students were familiar with the methods used in the test, i.e. multiple-choice and
answering the questions based on the passage. There are three reading passages
about report texts, each followed by a limited number of comprehension questions.
Within one and half hour of time frame, it was reasonable that the students could
complete the test. Because the test is only two pages long, so the test is
photocopyable as well as being able to be administered smoothly. Besides, the
quality of the photocopy was good so that the students could read the passages and
questions clearly. The cost of the test was free since the test was already budgeted
by the school, therefore the students did not have to pay at all. The
scoring/evaluation system was not quite feasible in the teacher’s time frame
because the test mostly requires the students to give explanation about implicit or
explicit information in the reading passages. The scoring aspects of the test include
the precise answers based on the passage and the use of grammar in the right way.
This makes the teacher to work hard to keep an eye to the content of the answers,
whether the students use correct grammar and precise answers according to the
related text. The methods for reporting results are determined as well. The teacher
will distribute the test results once they have been graded. In the end of the
academic year, the scores will be accumulated and put in the student report book

2. Is the test reliable?

All students receive the same quality
